Literally play the most recent patch. It’s all about Evelyn and Astra. The agents are always gonna flirt with the proxies that’s just the game. Also play as Belle. The game becomes extremely yuri and Wise is just a goofball.

They’re gonna get together next chapter and I won’t even enjoy it because the story has been jerked around so much it would be impossible for it to be satisfying. Also last chapter confessions and hookups are cringe.

Makes Shizuku telling Iori that she's already slept together with Saori a few chapters back even funnier. Just saying shit to get a rise out of her.

That or she meant literally sleeping and was just extremely pure. For all her hard edges Shizuku might be the most romantically innocent of the four of them.

Man she needs help.

I think it’s possible what Kopeko sees and what we would see looking at the same thing are different.

^They don’t talk much in the game actually. The game spends way more time with Caesar and Lucy. And Piper is the main feature for Burnice’s character story.

Annnd the author makes Makino say something mean to make her the unambiguous bad guy in the argument so we don’t have to deal with Mashiro essentially going behind her back when Makino SAID this girl made her uncomfortable and outright just showing her pussy to said girl. I’m gonna be real that pisses me off quite a bit. Mashiro was unambiguously in the wrong at the end of the last chapter and now she’ll be treated as totally justified because the author had Makino say mean things.

@YuriQueen01 she does have preliminary data. But that stuff isn't 100% reliable. Screwlum in Star Rail, for instance, has been teased and canceled at least twice.

Accurate depiction of what is necessary for a Miyabi team.

This is not even the wildest thing I’ve seen on this site. People are overreacting to this. This is a pretty obvious fetish oneshot that exists for the sole purpose of the author and anyone else into it getting off to it. I make it a personal point not to moralize about what other people get off to so long as no one was hurt in it’s making. Glass houses and all that. Playing the “my taste in porn is more virtuous than yours” game is one nobody wins.

I feel like we’re gonna get a lot more Herta stuff once her real body shows up (which I have a feeling might be 3.0+)

Thinking about that friendship event when a girl Zhu Yuan saved is obviously in love with her and can’t help but comment on the obvious.

People keep trying to pigeonhole Shio as an aro/ace exclusive author when they only have one manga that falls into that category. Crescent Moon is her only manga that features it. Trying Out Marriage doesn’t feature much physical intimacy because it’s an incredibly slow burn friends to lovers story. Nothing at the end led me to believe their relationship wouldn’t have a physical component now their feelings were understood. Becoming Her Lover is perhaps Shio’s most traditional yuri story to date. This story seems to be her most blatant when it comes to dealing with physical intimacy. This should be plenty of evidence to show that the scope of her work is considerably broader than aro/ace.

I can't fathom folks showing up to a new work from one of vanishingly few mangaka (or published authors in general) repping committed aro/ace relationships to say "gosh, I hope this one is more like everything else I read!"

I think pigeonholing Shio as an "aro/ace author" is kind of reductive in and of itself. For starters, in my opinion Crescent Moon and Doughnuts is her only real aro/ace story. Trying Out Marriage is most certainly a slow burn, but I did not get the impression the heroines didn't want a physical relationship by the end. It just took a very long time for them to work out their feelings. It's true this story story is a bit more "traditional" (school setting, the characters have a much more standard view on physical contact etc), but it still has the kind of writing that makes Shio unique.

In any case, I really liked this chapter. Probably my favorite so far.

I just did her hangout event at the movies so I know this can't be canon. Zhu Yuan considers hand-holding to the peak of lewd and judo throws anyone who attempts it.

I hope someday we get more info on Stelle's time with the Stelleron Hunters before the game started.

Is Kon getting cooked AND cucked?

Love them.

With that deja-vu and Erika looking almost alarmed Aya remembered it I’m starting to feel very strongly that my hunch Erika was to blame for her disappearance was correct.

^Me, who lost my 50/50 and has no polychrome, will never get to see this scene : (

^I…never got an androgynous vibe from Stelle at all…

These two don’t even know each other. Nekomata actually does have some chemistry with Nichole and Anby. As for Ellen? Maybe Corrin or Rina. Or I guess her school friends. Or even Belle. You can pair any of the girls with Belle though.

Read the comments first to see which way this would go. Glad I didn’t read it. We should have a “yuri doesn’t win” tag.
